The Great UFA Show Summit 2016. On the Future of Entertainment

Info
Program

A Seminar Hosted by UFA SHOW & FACTUAL GmbH and HMR International GmbH & Co. KG

Shiny-Floor or the much-noted comeback of game shows: entertainment is still the most successful genre across media. But what is entertainment at its core, what is its value and its function in society? In Germany in particular, it is held in disregard in contrast to genres such as series or other fictional forms. What is behind that bad reputation? This event will thoroughly examine these issues and explore the great challenges for entertainment in media in these times of all-encompassing digitalization.
